Tabled before the Development and Planning Commission this morning, the Government’s Aerial Farm ‘affordable housing scheme’ was dubbed by some members as ‘harsh’ and ‘old fashioned’.

At about 11pm in the evening of Sunday 20th October 2013, a young female was sexually assaulted whilst in the stairwell of Lavender Court, in Sir William Jackson Grove [Gib 5].
Police are keen to speak to a male person believed to be in his early to late 30’s who was in the area at the time. This person may be able to assist police with inquiries. He is described as being of medium build, slightly tanned, with a break to the hairline on the left eyebrow, with a muscular upper body and was at the time wearing light coloured trousers (Chino style) with a light coloured t-shirt or polo shirt.
The GSD has today said that the Government cannot continue to equate the comments it may make of their handling of the current crisis with Spain, with criticisms of Gibraltar. They are not the same.
The GSD warns our community against the clearly manipulative way in which the Government has attempted to distort what the Leader of the Opposition has said in his statements and sees this as another example of a Government more interested in distortion and manipulation than substance.
The fact is that the GSD and its Leader, Daniel Feetham, have criticised the Spanish Government for their recent campaign against Gibraltar on numerous occasions describing that campaign as immoral, unjustified and illegal. It repeats the same point today especially in the light of the recent actions at the frontier.
On the 17 October 2013 the RGP’s Police Constable Henry Sacramento led the National Association of Police Well-Being Advisors workshop. The workshop was held in Oxford, in the United Kingdom and is the second workshop organised by NAPWA since PC Sacramento was re elected as chairperson of the association.
Holding an annual training day was an undertaking given by PC Sacramento prior to his election as chairperson. This year’s training day was on stress in the emergency services. The workshop was delivered by Dr Noreen Tehrani and proved to be very useful in learning techniques on how to identify stress and how to deal with employees suffering from stress. This was not focused solely on clients but also on the welfare advisors, who are often themselves susceptible to stress. Stress prevention also featured strongly in the workshop.

The GSD says it “laments the lack of transparency in relation to the estimated cost of the Commonwealth Park.” The Opposition argues that, “It is clear that the Government simply doesn't want to say how much the Park is expected to cost for fear of a public backlash.”
The Government has insisted that the Opposition is ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’ with their criticism of the Government. The GSD yesterday claimed that the Government have refused to publish or share the contents of reports that are commissioned.
A No.6 statement has insisted that they already published the Fishing Report and the King Report on the future of GBC. The opposition, the statement continues, refused to publish the King Report when in Government.
